Our Heritage

Our distillery is 208 steps from the sea.

We’ve never moved nor expanded.

Built by brothers Hugh and John Stevenson, Oban whisky is inextricably bound to its environment. Our water flows in from a loch three miles away. Our barley travels from Speyside. The distillery came first and a town rose up around it.

We sit at the portal between the West Highlands and the Hebrides Islands, a location renowned for its temperate climate and rugged beauty.
